Your UAE Fingerprints Go Directly Into Globeia's Own Offices. Nobody Else Touches Your File.

Your fingerprints are collected by a trained associate across the UAE. Globeia’s own offices in Washington, DC and Toronto manage the next steps, including FBI submissions, fingerprint submission to the RCMP via Globeia Incorporated, authentication, UAE embassy attestation and translation. Office details are provided below.

Our own offices, Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, submit every FBI and RCMP file.
Three questions to ask any fingerprinting provider

The right questions help you understand whether your fingerprint file will be accepted by the receiving authority.

  1. Can you collect fingerprints in the UAE and submit them through the correct country’s process?

    Many fingerprint requirements are handled by foreign authorities such as the FBI in the United States or RCMP in Canada. Globeia collects fingerprints across the UAE and processes each file through the correct international route, including Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC for FBI submissions and Globeia Incorporated in Toronto for fingerprint submission to the RCMP.

  2. Will my fingerprints be checked before they are sent overseas?

    A fingerprint card can be rejected because of unclear impressions, incorrect card details, or missing information. Globeia associates in the UAE check each fingerprint card during the appointment and ensure the required fields and impressions meet FBI, RCMP, and other authority standards before submission.

  3. Who handles authentication, UAE legalisation, and translation for my RCMP Criminal Record Check?

    Globeia coordinates the required steps for using your RCMP Criminal Record Check in the UAE, including Global Affairs Canada authentication, UAE embassy/legalisation requirements, and certified translation when required. The process is handled in the correct order, with one tracked file from fingerprinting to final documents.

A fingerprint card taken without reference to the authority's standards is just ink on paper: the wrong card stock, a missing rolled impression or an empty "taken by" box, and the application comes back weeks later. Our associates are trained on exactly those criteria.

Choosing a Fingerprinting Provider in the UAE: What Matters

A local fingerprint shop may only collect your fingerprints. Globeia provides a complete international clearance process, from mobile fingerprinting across the UAE to FBI submissions through its own office in Washington, DC and fingerprint submission to the RCMP via Globeia Incorporated in Toronto.

RCMP Accreditation & Processing Disclaimer

RCMP accreditation is held exclusively by Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, Canada. Globeia in the UAE is not RCMP-accredited, and Globeia is not endorsed by the RCMP, the FBI, FINRA, or any government authority. Fingerprints for the RCMP Criminal Record Check are collected in ink on the official C-216C form and mailed to Globeia Incorporated in Toronto, which submits them to the RCMP. All Criminal Record Checks, FBI Identity History Summaries and regulatory results are issued directly by the respective authority, not Globeia.

One clearance, two ways to get it

Meet Huzefa. He lives in Dubai and needs an FBI Background Check for his visa application

Huzefa is based on the real situations we see from UAE applicants every week. He needs an FBI Background Check for his visa and has two choices: manage every step himself or let Globeia handle the complete clearance process from fingerprints to final documents.

On his own

Fingerprints in the UAE, everything else by post and email

  1. Week 1
    Fingerprints collected

    Huzefa visits a local fingerprinting provider in Dubai. He receives his fingerprint card and starts looking for the next steps.

  2. Week 4
    Card issue found

    The fingerprint card has a quality issue and cannot be processed. Since it was not checked before submission, Huzefa needs to take fingerprints again.

  3. Week 7
    FBI report received

    The FBI Background Check arrives, but Huzefa still needs to arrange the required authentication, UAE legalisation, and certified translation before using it for his visa process.

  4. Week 12
    Multiple providers involved

    He contacts different companies for each service, manages separate payments, and follows different updates.

  5. Week 15
    Documents ready

    Huzefa finally has his complete file after several delays and extra coordination.

With Globeia

One appointment in the UAE, one file, one team

  1. Day 1
    Fingerprinting appointment

    Huzefa books online. A trained Globeia associate visits his location, verifies his identity, collects fingerprints, and checks the card before submission.

  2. Week 1
    FBI submission

    The fingerprint card is reviewed and submitted to the FBI CJIS Division through Globeia Inc. in Washington, DC.

  3. Week 3
    FBI result received

    The completed FBI Background Check moves to the next required document stage.

  4. Week 6
    Authentication, UAE legalisation and translation completed

    Globeia coordinates the required U.S. authentication, UAE legalisation, and certified translation based on the requirements for using the FBI Background Check in the UAE.

  5. Week 7
    Ready for UAE visa submission

    Huzefa receives a complete, tracked clearance file without managing multiple providers.
